Chapter 85: Divorce Settlement Agreement
Seeing that Severo had no intention of coming over to help, Allyce had no choice but to reply: “I’m coming.
So, it took me a lot of effort to get the suitcase into the boot.
When he returned to the car and sat down, he was sweating profusely.
He had barely sat down and had not even fastened his seat belt when Severo started the car, which was still going at high speed.
Allyce’s body leaned forward inertially and hit the windscreen, instantly reddening her pale forehead.
Severo didn’t even look at her, but slowed the car down.
Allyce buckled her seatbelt before rubbing her slightly sore forehead; Severo said nothing, but she could sense that Severo looked angry.
Angry about what?
To what Ula Cabello had said earlier….
But this time it was she who left Severo’s house.
Allyce turned her head to look out of the car window and pursed her lips – what was she doing trying to figure out what was going on in her mind!
The two returned to the Misty Bay without a word.
As soon as the car was parked, Severo got out and went into the villa. As he got out, he slammed the car door shut, causing Allyce to freeze.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Was he angry?
Allyce watched his tall back as he hurried into the villa, and the more she thought about it, the more she thought he was angry, but she didn’t know what she had done to piss him off again.
As he pulled out his suitcase and slowly dragged it inside, he heard Severo’s emotionless voice say, “There’s no water in the res”.
Allyce went inside at a quicker pace and went to refill the calf with water before going upstairs with her luggage.
It didn’t seem like much, just everyday stuff, but when you added it all up, it became particularly heavy.
She was halfway up the stairs when she saw Severo standing on the first floor staircase staring at her.
The man! He was so tired of seeing her carrying his things that he didn’t even come to her aid.
Allyce let out a long sigh, feeling a knot in her stomach.
Allyce looked down and shook off her hand, noticing that it was already strangled with red marks.
“Oooh …”
The whine of a puppy came from behind her, and Allyce turned to see that Beef had climbed up as well, following her up one step and having to retreat two more.
Despite this, he continued to climb relentlessly, looking a little odd on his round body.
As a result, before he could finish laughing, he couldn’t stop, because Severo suddenly came downstairs with the meat in his arms.
Allyce looked at Severo with an astonished face.
He would rather take a dog than help her with her suitcase.
Allyce thought, this is like the present tense.
The day she asked him for an answer, he told her to buy a dog, and now it’s better for a dog than for her …
Allyce gritted her teeth and climbed another two steps, her face pale and a little red from overexertion.
Severo was crouched just outside the entrance to the staircase, taunting Beef, and Beef and the dog were having fun.
Allyce suddenly felt jealous of Beef.
He kicked the drawer in exasperation and shouted to Severo: “Severo”.
Severo didn’t look back, “What is it?”
“You …” the words came out of his mouth and he felt a little unable to open them again.
“If you don’t talk I’m going to the study.” Severo pushed the res down the stairs and let it come down on its own, clapped his hands and stood up, his dark eyes fixed on Allyce.
Allyce blinked and cocked her head to one side, “Help me with the suitcase”.
“inaudible. Severo raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a cold expression, his body still as he watched her.
Allyce turned to her.
His face was cold, but his eyes, unusually dark at all times, looked straight at her, giving her the illusion, without reason, that he would say yes to anything she said.
“Can you help me with my suitcase? …?” Allyce’s look softened, but the show of weakness didn’t quite sit right with her, it always made her a little uncomfortable, and she turned her head to the side and continued, “The luggage is a little heavy ”
Severo’s gaze flicked to his gnarled fingers and he chuckled silently at his discomfort, but quickly curbed his smile again.
Then, lifting his foot a few steps lower, he effortlessly lifted his suitcase and climbed the stairs.
Allyce breathed a mental sigh of relief; she had been very worried that Severo would ignore her.
…
Severo loaded his suitcase and put it in his room, looked around the room and said, “I’m going to the study first, come and get me when you’ve finished sorting your things.
With that, he turned and left.
After Allyce had simply put her things in order, she went to the studio to look for him.
The study had the same dark tones as his bedroom.
As soon as she entered, Allyce felt a deep depression.
Severo was sitting behind his desk, leafing through a document in his hand, reading it carefully.
As Allyce approached, she could only faintly see the words encoded on it, not knowing what it was.
Severo said, “Sit down.
Allyce pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him, but he did not look up at her the whole time.
He was about to say something when Severo handed him the document he was reading and said calmly: “Read it and sign it if you have no doubts.
The word “sign” made Allyce’s heart stutter.
Allyce gave him a puzzled look, and when she looked down and saw the words “divorce settlement”, her mind boggled for a moment.
Severo had finally agreed to divorce her, but his heart suddenly panicked.
“Check it carefully and if you have no objections, sign it first.” Severo seemed not to see her panic as he placed a pen in front of her.
Her beautiful boneless fingers appeared and Allyce came to her senses and said hastily, “There are objections, they have to be changed”.
In fact, he hadn’t even read what they said, only that his mind was suddenly agitated by the knowledge that he was really going to divorce her.
Unwillingness to sign.
That single thought resided in his mind for a split second, growing wildly in the back of his mind.
She did not want a divorce and did not want to sign.
She pushed the agreement forward: “You can change it, I’m not even happy with it”.
“Good.” Severo nodded, then explained good-naturedly, “The agreement is negotiable, there’s no rush, I’ll just show you the first version first, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea that I helped you yesterday with an ulterior motive, the relationship of two people, it’s best to keep it simple and clear, don’t you think?”
“Yes … yes!” Allyce tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling rather stiffly.
Severo’s gaze flickered slightly as he returned the agreement, his tone distant: “I have business to attend to, Miss Delahoz, be my guest.
